The international festival DROGA DŌ rediscovers the “Sugihara List” – the untold history of a rescue journey that began in Japan
During World War II, Chiune Sugihara, the Japanese Vice-Consul in Lithuania, issued transit visas to Japan for thousands of Jews, paving their escape route and saving their lives. Eighty-five years later, the international festival DROGA DŌ seeks to retrace that path – through music, video, artistic creation, and collaborations between artists from Israel, Japan, Poland, and Lithuania
